Some doors can’t be opened by one hopper alone. Luckily, you’ve got history.

Loop Hopper is a one-button puzzle platformer made in a weekend for the Game Dev Linz x Cloudflight Jam 2026. Every loop lasts 15 seconds. When it ends, the level resets and your previous run replays as a translucent ghost, repeating your exact moves. Ghosts are solid, so they can stand on switches, hold doors open, and even give you a lift.

The trick is planning ahead: what should past-you do so that present-you can finally make it to the exit?

How to play

• Space / Click / Tap: jump (your hopper runs on its own)
• R: restart the current loop
• Your earlier runs replay as ghosts (up to 5 at a time)
• Park a ghost on a switch, then walk through the door while it holds it open
• Reach the exit flag to clear the level

Themes: Repetition + Whimsy

Tips

• Your first loop is a sacrifice. Use it to set up the next one.
• Ghosts never improvise, so timing is everything.
• Failing is progress. Every failed run is a future helper.
